you could consider a rjx muffer. the only problem would be the weight (it weights ALOT more than a 522). On the brite side you could use it to stop a chicken dance or throw it against a somebody you don't like and I'm sure it would cause serious damage.

WTH is up with this align muffler?! I left my 600N sitting on the shelf for about a month only to notice that there was a puddle of fuel underneath the heli where the muffler is. It appears to be that the sitting fuel ATE through the muffler and now i have two small holes on the botttom of my muffler big enough to allow fuel to drip all over the place! last time I ran it i tried to make sure all the fuel was was burned off too!

I had parts come loose inside the pipe after 1.5 Gallon. But they sent me a new one and it's been through 4 gallon no problem.

I got my align muffler as soon as they came out. I dont know if they changed the way they are made since the first batch, but ive really liked it up until it started to corode away underneath. Im debating whether or not to order another one in hopes that I wont run into this problem again, maybe it was just a fluke? Comparing it to my MP2 it feels like its half the weight, guessing thinner aluminum

Just get a can or two of Redbull, tick weld them together, a little polish and you will have a true align quality muffler.

both the #521 and the #522 work great. The #521 is narrower version (the space between the muffler and the engine is 17mm instead of 25mm) that is meant for sceadu type of helis. The #522 works better on the 600N and Raptor type helis. I have the feeling the #521 is better for the vibe 50 but I haven't put mine on to check.

The 522 is hands down the best muffler fo 3D,especially good on the YS 50.

Do you send it back to align or the store you bought it from?

You should always talk to the retailer first...

I didn't get the align pipe because I heard it dented easier than other pipes. Besides that I heard it made close to the same power as the hatori. The cheap price definitely made it interesting, but in the end I didn't get it.

I got the hatori one piece, and it does not dent easy. Couple flight failures and she took a few pops. Still kicking ass even with the battle scars.

You get what you pay for, usually.

Gee I think hmm dont remember where I saw it in the states, Ricks maybe? but they are not in stock, I ordered mine from Cyberheli. Guess you have to have done business with them to have a confident feeling about it. I have spent hundreds over the years with them, (it has been a while since I shopped there however.)
About 10 days, but like I said, there isnt a much better thing than seeing a delivery guy dropping off shiny new blades on a Sunday


Has anyone tried the Weston pipe on the OSHyper? I flew that pipe for a good long while and was very happy with it, but I see no mention of it lately. Ricks sells this as well.
